Moreover, among the reasons why the price changes among the walk-in tubs is that the baths are custom-made depending on a person's needs rather than factory replicated, in order to discover a bathtub that's specifically made for someone who desires wheelchair access, a bath that fits a bigger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 9

Question 10

10) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravity just drainage system, while other makers offer power assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk-in tub is attached to the normal bathtub drain, which is threaded into a flat conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using a foam washer or putty under its flange. The large difference is that producers have attempted to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling cooled since a bather cannot leave the tub until all of the water is emptied. Comparing double drain options to accelerated drain choices is vital when considering that most walk-in bathtubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which requires that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some characteristics may cost you more, so it is almost always a good idea to ask. Finally, get to know the difference between frameless baths and framed baths since because they don't change the drain height of your existing tub frameless tubs often empty faster than framed baths. Framed baths are built on a steel frame as well as the base of the tub is dangled off the ground. Frameless baths are made with an extra-strength mold that does not necessitate a steel framework and the underside of the tub is not suspended in the air.

Question 11

11) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Initial testing and appropriate setup should provide you with a leak proof encounter, however there are incidents where they experienced escapes that customers report. Under appropriate circumstances, the door seal should compress making it totally leak proof. Some units comprise another drain below the entry door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. If this attribute is contained inquire. We highly recommend that you get a lifetime warranty, because it covers the seal and the door in the instance of a flow. In addition, it's crucial that you take good attention of the walk-in bath door when the tub is not in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping the door seal and door jamb down after every use can keep the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care as well as maintenance directions.

Question 12

12) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP isn't a supplier of insurance, but contracts with insurance companies to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP doesn't make health plan recommendations for individuals and does not cover the cost of walk-in tubs or any well-being needs. AARP does provide coverage like other health plans and Medicare Supplement Insurance and accessibility to medical care tools to members as a resource, but third parties provide member benefits. Check with the plans which are listed under AARP's membership services in California.
